Woman found dead at Rainbow gathering from apparent overdose

VANCOUVER, Wash. — Authorities say a 25-year-old California woman has been found dead from an apparent drug overdose at the Rainbow Family Gathering in Gifford Pinchot National Forest.

Skamania County officials told The Columbian newspaper an autopsy will be performed on the unidentified woman to determine her cause of death. Sheriff Dave Brown says it was unclear on Wednesday what drug or drugs might have triggered the woman’s death.

Earlier in the week, an unidentified camper died from what was believed to be natural causes.
